Metabolism of Ferulic Acid to Vanillin A BACTERIAL GENE OF THE ENOYL-SCoA HYDRATASE/ISOMERASE SUPERFAMILY ENCODES AN ENZYME FOR THE HYDRATION AND CLEAVAGE OF A HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACID SCoA THIOESTER
M. J. Gasson,Yoshie Kitamura,W. R. Mclauchlan,Arjan Narbad,Adrian J. Parr,E. L. H. Parsons,John Payne,Michael J. C. Rhodes,Nicholas J. Walton +8 more
TL;DR: A gene encoding a novel enoyl-SCoA hydratase/lyase enzyme for the hydration and nonoxidative cleavage of feruloyl, SCoA to vanillin and acetyl-SCOA was isolated and characterized from a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens.

K. Lowes,K. Lowes,Claire Shearman,John Payne,Donald A. MacKenzie,David B. Archer,Roger J. Merry,M. J. Gasson +7 more
TL;DR: Construction of a synthetic gene for mycocin HMK and heterologous expression of this toxin in Aspergillus niger are described, which has potential applications in controlling both silage spoilage and yoghurt spoilage caused by yeasts.

TL;DR: In this paper, physiological and biochemical studies aimed at characterizing tropane alkaloid production in this material and identifying factors regulating the flux early in the pathway in Datura and Nicotiana are described.

Exploitation of a chromosomally integrated lactose operon for controlled gene expression in Lactococcus lactis
TL;DR: In this paper, a plasmid-free strain of Lactococcus lactis MG5267 was integrated into the bacterial chromosome and the lysin gene from Listeria monocytogenes bacteriophage LM-4 was subsequently integrated into this strain such that expression of the heterologous gene was mediated by the lactose operon promoter.

Functional analysis of the vanillin pathway in a vdh-negative mutant strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens AN103
TL;DR: Inactivation of the vdh gene in P. fluorescens AN103 did not result in the expected accumulation of vanillin in media despite the absence of other enzymes exhibiting vanillin dehydrogenase activity, and a mutant of this gene was unable to grow on vanillin as well as on ferulic acid as a sole carbon source.
